At this moment, time seemed to have come to a standstill. Cause and effect became confused at this moment, and the spear in Cu Chulainn's hand directly locked onto the opponent's heart.
At this moment, even if the other party wanted to escape, it was no use. His heart had been pierced.
Even though the scarlet spear was still in his hand.
Even though he hadn't thrown the spear in his hand yet.
But, what was confirmed first was that the vermilion spear pierced the opponent's heart.
"The Spear of Deathly Thorns"
Cu Chulainn's decisive blow to the enemy.
Cause and effect were reversed, and the "heart being pierced" that was originally the "result" happened first, and a moment later, the scarlet spear was in his hand, and the torrent of magic power condensed and turned into an attack.
The spear is a "must hit" at this moment.
Because the "result" has been achieved, the "cause" that has just begun will inevitably happen.
The world in front of Li Mo noticed a change. Almost at the moment when Cu Chulainn's treasure was activated, he felt that the world had stopped. His eyes saw an indescribable situation.
Just like when he was using the "Secret Sword: Swallow Return".
That was when Inazuma faced the Abyss Mage. At that time, she was very weak and needed to go all out. She used the Breathing of the Sun to fight with all her might.
It was also in that world that Li Mo gradually changed his job from a "warrior" to a "mage".
Yin-Yang magic, modern magic, and magic from the Age of Gods all come together to form the "mystery" of Li Mo.
He subconsciously began to analyze the current situation, feeling the aftermath of the momentary reversal of cause and effect when Cu Chulainn's treasure was completed.
Li Mo memorized this scenery in his heart, and the next second he would face the treasure thrown by Cu Chulainn.
My heart is locked.
The last second, the heart was still beating actively.
The next second, the heart was pierced.
The torrent of magic power extending from the scarlet spear pierced through the heart.
If a fatal injury happened in a movie or TV show, the person would move backwards while holding his chest, right?
But this is reality.
"Get started." Li Mo said.
He pressed forward, even though the spear of magic was still above his heart.
My image should look very terrifying. My heart has been pierced, but the blood is not flowing out and my heart is still beating.
A stray thought flashed through his mind, but was immediately discarded by him.
He first cut off the beam of magic power, which was the effect of the opponent's treasure. The moment it pierced his heart, the treasure ended. But the effect did not end for a while, and Cu Chulainn could still rely on this magic spear to affect him.
The cause and effect of nothingness cannot be cut off, but the magic power that is close at hand can.
Magic is added to the sword to cut off the torrent of magic power.
Li Mo saw the shocked look on Cu Chulainn's face, just like when he and Hassan were confronting each other with their treasures, but Hassan took out his heart first.
The next second, he fell into a state of emptiness.
Wielding a katana in his hand.
Meanwhile, Cuchulainn came to his senses from his shock and heard the other's words.
Take action——?
Who takes action?
The answer was quickly revealed.
From the shadows of the woods, Koyanskaya appeared from nowhere, holding a weapon similar to a pistol in her hand. Bullets were released from the muzzle one by one, and the sparks formed like a lightsaber.
"Protection of Misfortune" cannot be effective because the distance is too close to be judged as a long-range attack.
Cu Chulainn could not move because all his escape routes were blocked. The sword light of the Master blocked all possible escape routes, and if he tried to escape, he would be hit by the opponent's sword.
Rather than using a sword, Cu Chulainn chose to take bullets.
As he possesses the "Battle Continuation" ability, he doesn't mind taking certain amounts of damage, and he is no less capable than anyone in a protracted battle.
At the same time, the opponent's sword was coming towards him. Although he could clearly see the blade, he felt that his sides would still be hit. The opponent's skills seemed to be very advanced.
He also noticed that...
Is it really that simple?
Why is Assassin's attack strength like child's play?
Why the opponent's Master's knife was only used to block his escape route.
When Cu Chulainn slowly pulled his spear out of the other Master's body, doubts arose involuntarily.
Soon, his doubts were explained.
A woman wearing a black cloak and whose appearance was unclear suddenly appeared among the trees. In the blink of an eye, Cu Chulainn could not see too many of her physical features.
But he knows.
This is also a Servant!
And as expected, it was Caster who had been missing for a long time!
"RuleBreaker!"
"All talismans must break the precepts"
The voice sounded.
Caster had a dagger in his hand.
"Is this your ultimate move?!!!"
Cu Chulainn was locked in place by the two. Almost instantly, the Master stood in front of him with amazing perseverance, blocking his way with the long sword in his hand. Even though his heart was pierced, he acted as if nothing had happened.
Next is Assassin. Even with his back to the enemy, Cu Chulainn could feel the muzzle of the enemy's gun pointed at him. Was it one? Or two? Or even more?
The difference is not that big, isn't it?
Caster's knife focused itself.
Then, Cu Chulainn felt that the connection between himself and the Master was broken.
The contract was touched.
Immediately, Caster took control of the contract.
The entire process is controlled by the other party, and there is no room for resistance at all.
So... am I going to change Master for the second time?
Who would have thought of such a thing?
Cu Chulainn shook his head and reluctantly accepted the reality.
In the woods, the tense scene of a life-and-death struggle seemed to become peaceful all of a sudden.
On the other side of the Weiyuan River, in the church southwest of Xindu.
Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but pause.
"Has Lancer's contract disappeared?"
"Isn't it really interesting?"
In the church, only his back and voice were left.
Chapter 178 Insurance
"Master, how are you doing? Are you still in pain?"
The battle was over, and the first person to care about Li Mo was Medea. Because she was the last to appear and gave Cu Chulainn the final blow, she was closer than Goyanskaya.
"It's fine if you don't say it, but now it starts to hurt." Li Mo complained expressionlessly.
Gao Yanskaya came over and said, "Master, please don't tease Medea at this time. I will be dissatisfied if you abandon me like this."
"Tsk..." Li Mo smacked his lips and glanced at the system. Very good, the experience bar is just a little short of upgrading. Obviously, he defeated Cu Chulainn, wouldn't it be better to give him a little more experience?
"Medea-san, please treat me." He said seriously.
In his current situation, he was using a spell to maintain this strange state. This spell was probably to use magic to create a virtual heart to maintain blood circulation and prevent the wound from getting worse.
The so-called magic is something that humans can do. In other words, anything that humans can currently do, magic can also do.
In ancient China, there was a man who died because someone told him “A tree can live without bark, and a person can live without a heart”, and later it was discovered that the man had no heart.
Of course, the mystery of the application is not this aspect. Because the person who taught this technique was Medea, she was a Greek magician. In the Type-Moon world, the foundations between the West and the East are not the same.
"Please wait a moment, Master. I will use the Golden Fleece immediately."
Medea produced a golden fleece and began the treatment.
「ArgonCoin」
Medea's unique skill, the Golden Fleece with an "EX" rating, can heal injuries. As this is how she uses it, she wants to use the Golden Fleece on her own Master.
This is exactly the treasure that the heroes on the Argo were looking for. It is said that it can summon a dragon when thrown on the ground. However, Medea does not have the ability to summon a phantom beast, so she can only use it as a healing item.
With the help of the "Golden Fleece", Li Mo's heart injury was healed. With the magic formula as a prerequisite, after being healed by the Golden Fleece, it can almost be regarded as if his heart had never been attacked.
"Well, what should I call you?"
Cuchulainn spoke.
He now knew that his Master was no longer the priest, but the Caster standing there, so he would make the best of it. He was not going to commit suicide.
Now that we have changed it, let’s see how the situation goes.
"Let's go back first." Li Mo made up his mind.
This place is not far from the position of Yuanzang Mountain. As he went along, Cu Chulainn knew the whole story. For example, why he could feel the breath of Assassin in the Cathedral Church in the new capital, it was not because Gao Yanskaya herself was there, but Caster sent a familiar to disguise her breath to seduce the other party.
Secondly, regarding the battle, if Cu Chulainn is driven into the trap of Mount Enzo, everyone will be happy. If not, it means that the Master and Assassin are involved in providing Caster with the environment to use the Noble Phantasm.
